Out of the various heroic incarnations Howard produced in his short but fruitful career, Kull is a bright spark that comes and goes all too quickly. Only three Kull stories were ever published in Howard's lifetime, so to read a collection containing unpublished works starring him is a real treat. Kull is like Conan in a lot of respects, but bears a philosophical side that gives him a more brooding aspect. I recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys swords and sorcery fiction, combat scenes,...more

Kull seems to be something like a blueprint for the later Conan. He is a barbarian but unlike Conan he does not try to solve everything with his sword. He uses his brains and one can almost feel his disgust with all the plotting and scheming around him that will only make him react with more force and more blood spilling. [return]He can easily be put aflame by disrespect of others and then there is no way that he will cool off without taking his revenge (in one tale he is even ready to go to the...more

I do, although not as much, but that's just unnecessarily rude. It's not a contest about whose sword is bigger, you know.

While Tompkins had some good material about REH, he went on forever. (Talk about a large ego!) I found myself with less & less patience for his opinions, so after enduring him for 20 minutes, I came back in to the house & figured out where he quit so I could start in on the actual stories.

Tantor Media if you are reading this, please be advised that putting the introduction & each story into a separate track would be very much appreciated. Just ripping these stories off the CD's & dumping them into files makes you look cheap & uncaring. It's a PITA to FF through the track not knowing how long to hold down the button while trying to do other things like drive or weed the garden.

The stories are in their original format, so many are just fragments. I find that frustrating. I know a lot of Howard buffs dislike the Lancer editions because deCamp & Carter finished & heavily edited REH's original words, but they're what I started with & I'm more interested in a full, rousing story. After all, Howard is one of the premier escapist authors. If I wanted accuracy & realism, I'll read a nonfiction book or a historical fantasy.

McLaren is a pretty good reader, but this just didn't work as an audio book for me. Where Kull's philosophizing used to be entertaining, I was just impatient with his loose grip on reality & gullibility. Also, if I heard "By Valkha!" one more time, I was going to sic Crom on him, so I quit. I remembered the stories a bit too well, anyway.(less)

A friend let me borrow this book on a whim. I had never heard of Robert Howard or Kull, and I was only vaguely aware of Conan the Barbarian (Howard's later famous creation).

What a pleasant surprise these stories were! Howard writes in a clear, straightforward style, but still manages to convey an other-worldliness. As a character, Kull is fascinating. He is an exile from his homeland who becomes a mercenary and eventually overthrows the king of the most powerful nation and takes his place. Howev...more

Really good stories as expected from Howard. Definitely worth the read.

Pros:
- Great description and strong use of all the senses.
- Vivid battle sequences (one of the best).
- Larger than life characters.
- Awesome history/worldbuilding.
- Nice nods to the weird (including elements of horror).
- Several memorable lines/quotes. "By this axe I rule!"
- The last two pages of The Skull of Silence might be the best thing Howard ever wrote.

I have always loved Robert E Howard from the time I found my older brother's Lancer books when I was a child. Conan was of course a favorite, but my imagination was always captured by the Atlantean King Kull, a barbarian who rule the fabled kingdom of Valusa back in the dawn of time. Kull was a more intellectual hero than Conan, always brooding about the metaphysical world, but still ready and able to swing a sword in order to crush a tyrant or kill a wizard who threatened his rule.

Howard’s Kull yarns, given life not only by the author’s vivid writing, but also illustrator Justin Sweet’s magnificent artwork. Kull, a barbarian, and exile of Atlantis that is later to become Valusia’s most fabled King, is often cited as a Conan prototype and literary forerunner – which is indeed true as, ironically, the last Kull story – “By This Axe I Rule!” was later rewritten as “The Phoenix on the Sword” which is both the first written and first published Conan adventure.

But, labeling Kull as a “prototype” draws with the term a notion that in some way the stories of Kull are inferior to the ones of Conan; which could not be further from the truth. Conan is not just a “new and improved” version of Kull, nor is Kull the “inferior clone” of Conan. The two characters, although sharing a similar barbarian origin, are very much night and day when it comes to personalities.

Conan was a man of action, who lived for the moment and seized the pleasures of life – the lust for battle, the taste of good brew and the pleasures offered by the embrace of voluptuous wenches. Although Conan had momentary lapses into brooding thoughts and philosophy (see “Queen of the Black Coast”, “Beyond the Black River”, etc.), mostly he did not concern himself with question beyond this earthly life.

Kull of Atlantis, King of Valusia, is the complete opposite. While a man of unmatched physical prowess that could undoubtedly go blow for blow with the warrior Conan, Kull’s most recognizable character trait is his constant philosophizing. More often than not, he is seen as sitting on the Throne of Kings in the regal Tower of Splendor, with his heavy chin resting on his clenched fist, consumed in moody thoughts about reality, illusion, existence and the meaning of life. The melancholy in REH’s writing is nowhere as strong as in the stories of Kull. Philosophy is put in focus, while the action remains in the background (save in the Kull/Bran Mak Morn crossover “Kings of the Night” which is all about ass kicking). Unlike Conan, Kull also has no interest in fair maidens. He notes their beauty, but their seductiveness never brings him in temptation. In every such scene, Howard states something like “But [their beauty] meant nothing to Kull”; the man just has other concerns and sees courting and flirtations as trifle affairs of little interest and a waste of time.

In many stories, Kull barely lifts a sword; instead, it’s all about what happens in the King’s mind. This certainly won’t win many new readers, especially of the younger generation – I fall in this category, too. But, unlike most my age, I’m actually smart. Today’s readers / audiences of any kind suffer from severe attention deficiency disorder, and the industry adapts accordingly. Instead of depth and quality, we are treated to shallowness and superficial flashiness in music, film and literature. Instead of everlasting and larger than life heroes, we have teenagers with spiky hair saving the world from ancient evils (ahem, “Final Fantasy”, “Eragon” and many other fantasy games/novels/films of today).

Having an interest in philosophy in general, I took an immediate liking to the grim Kull, even more so than with any other REH creations. It is just a delight to read these yarns, for I have no doubt that through the characters, REH shared with us his own mind. And it is even more of a delight to realize that my personal views almost perfectly coincide with his. It is amazing how much of a great thinker REH was. Sadly, only three of the Kull’s stories where published during his life. That led to many original typescripts being misplaced by various people who had gotten hold of them after REH’s untimely death. Most of the stories of Kull are in fact working drafts, several pages shorter than their definitive and final versions, but due to the latter being lost have become the next best alternative.

Despite being a thinker, that doesn’t mean Kull was a stranger to the call of arms. He was a true King, and most of all – a true man. He shied from no one, neither earthly nor otherworldly foes. Kull valued manliness above all. “And I believe you, for you are different from any earthly man I ever knew. You are a real king and what is greater, a true man,” says an ancient lake-king to Kull. And speaking of manliness, in one Untitled Draft (and by the looks of it, incomplete also) where Kull ventures with his army to the Edge of the World and beyond, there is a scene, a single, three words long sentence Kull addresses his valiant soldiers with, that made me want to rip my shirt apart with my bare hands and growl like a berserker; such is the power of REH’s words.

In a way, Kull was a greater adventurer than Conan, Bran Mak Morn, Solomon Kane, El Borak and others. Without meaning to depreciate and disrespect the greatness of the latter characters, for they battled foes both of and out of this world, their adventures where almost always of earthly manner, while Kull’s often venture beyond – they are adventures of the body, the mind, and the soul alike.

Kull shares a grim kinship with the last king of the Picts, Bran Mak Morn. The more obvious link between them is Brule, the Spear-slayer, a Pict that is Kull’s most trusted friend and indispensable advisor. But also, Kull and Bran Mak Morn are both tragic characters, with a foreboding future looming above them like an inevitable menace. Bran knows, that, whatever he does, he will ultimately fail in battle and his final mission – to save his people from the pits of barbarism – will go unfulfilled. In several Kull stories, as early as in the very first – “Exile of Atlantis” – the ultimate fate of Atlantis and the Seven Empires is prophesized. “These mountains always were but some day they will crumble and vanish. Some day the sea will flow over these hills—” says Kull.

In means of miscellanea, the Kull collection does not offer that much to the reader. The bonuses include the “Am-Ra of the Ta-an” fragments, with the five of them barely stretching on six pages. Also included are the drafts of “The Shadow Kingdom”, “Delcardes’ Cat” (aka “The Cat and the Skull”) and the poem “The King and the Oak”. The appendices include an interesting 16 pages long essay by Patrice Louinet, titled “Atlantean Genesis”.

The ending of my every review of a work of REH ends with the same sentence: this is a must for every REH fan, and anyone who values good literature.

A collection of some of Howard's earliest stories. "The Shadow Kingdom" is a masterpiece (and worth reading the closing essay to understand what Howard was doing with this story and it's relationship to the Biblical Saul). The remainder of them are erratic in quality but interesting as a window into the past as Howard develops the vibrant style that would characterize the Conan stories. The inclusion of "Kings of the Night" only highlights the contrast, as it is a later story featuring two other...more

Well, this is certainly one for the Howard completists. Not that it is only such readers who would be interested in this. It is also great for those who just want to read about another of Howard's characters, those who want a change from Conan, although of all of them Kull is probably the most Conon like. If one ignores the various incomplete fragments and unfinished drafts, most of these stories are top notch, up there with his best work.

It is clear that Kull is Howard's earlier creation - the world in which he lives is not as well defined, the stories he takes part in all deal with pretty much the same topics, and there is a sense of the author trying out different things and not really deciding on what the character is supposed to be doing. However, make no mistake - this is not only proto-Conan (despite some strong similarities), Kull is a character in his own right, with his own motivations and philosophy.

Today I'll be reviewing a short story entitled Kings of the Night by the one and only Robert E. Howard. Kings of the Night can be found in both Kull: Exile of Atlantis and Bran Mak Morn: The Last King. That's because it stars both of the title characters.
"How can that be?" you ask. Kull lived in an age before the ocean drank Atlantis and Bran Mak Morn lives in England around the time the Romans came. The answer is simple: Magic. Kings of the Night is also a rarity among Howard's stories because there isn't a single monster in it.

Kull was a swords and sorcery character Howard created a few years before Conan and it shows, both in terms of concept and writing. Not to say the writing is bad. It isn't. It's just not as polished as Howard's later work. That being said, Howard's prose compared to other fantasy is like drinking your first bottle of Guinness after a lifetime of light beer. Where was I? Oh yeah, Kull. Kull is a barbarian who became a king and struggles between his savage ways and the statecraft involved in managing a kingdom.

Bran Mak Morn is the last king of the Picts, a savage people who were great allies of Kull's kingdom of Valusia thousands of years before Bran's time. When we catch up to Bran Mak Morn, the Picts have declined almost to the point of extinction. Bran's not all that different from Kull except that he knows that his fight against the Roman occupation is a losing battle.

A nigh-immortal Pictish sorcerer brings Kull to the future, convincing him he's dreaming in the process. Kull plays along with the sorcerer and soon ends up in command of a band of Norsemen against the Romans.

Before this story was published, Howard told his contemporary, H.P. Lovecraft, that it contained the best battle scene he'd written up to that point. Howard was right and it might be the best mass battle in fantasy ever written. This thing is Braveheart-violent once things get rolling. The tactics are written with a flair that keeps them from becoming boring but then how could you get bored with limbs being hacked off and a band of Picts and Vikings going up against colossal odds?

Until next time, keep your powder dry and your guns loaded.(less)

A mixed bag. Some of the stories were 4 star and most were 3 star.

Kull's motivations were often wishy washy and his personality was under developed. I can't help but think of Kull as a Proto-Conan which was later polished and perfected.

I thought this kind of warrior fantasy would be cheesy but it was instead pure awesome. Horror stories like Poe, battle scenes that leave you literally breathless, and humanizing insights into our minds, all told by a barbarian king. If only this were a long novel instead of short stories and fragments, then it would be one of my all-time favorites. Kind of weird getting used to the mostly-dialogue prose and tendency to skip through time and place without exposition.

There were times when I've liked Kull as a character more than Conan. He seems more thoughtful at times, but overall there's no doubt that Conan is a more consistent, and in that sense more believable, character. Still, it's nice to have this collection of all the Kull stories, as well as some fragments and drafts, because it shows us a lot about the development of Howard's characters across his writing life.

While some view Kull as a precursor to Conan, it is clear from these stories that he is very different from Howard's later creation. Although a barbarian by birth, Kull is more brooding, more troubled by the immortal questions of man. These stories are also more experimental than the Conan stories, which were written when Howard was more experienced. Some of the plots are more awkwardly handled than Howard's better stories, but a few of the stories rank among Howard's best. This volume includes...more

Kull is great, as most fantasy stories about heroes ( Conan, Luke Skywalker etc) are on their quest and swear they will some day seize/ free a kingdom by the sheer power of their sword arm and noble heart.

Kull is on the theme of 'Okay, you've seized a kingdom. Now what?'
Kull has lots of swordplay, monsters and adventure, but there is also political plotting, and the burden and details of actually running a kingdom.

It's good, it's pulp. it's Howard. If you go in to this collection of tales with these thoughts firmly in mind, I think any astute student of the pulps is going to find themselves well rewarded. Just like I know Lovecraft misses the mark with a lot of modern readers, Howard can as well. Though in retrospect, I think his general style is more modern, and accesible.

Anyway, good fun read, and Kull is a much more contemplative uber-barbarian than his more famous cousin.
